Bahco snips the best?

Knipex knipex Knipex!!

I'm trying to figure out if that means they're good or bad.

Hi Marvo, I think you'll find that it's both in the one statement. i.e. 'dog's nuts' usually refers to something being perfect etc. 'pig manure' means that they're not.
So they were supposed to be but in reality they're not. as with a load of things in life.

Cheers,
Lofty.

Knipex all the way for me, only used Bahco pipe grips and didn't like them at all so not a big fan of the brand because of that.

i was looking at these, there is two differnt sizes tho.. and seem ok at around £20, am i coreect on this

havent usecd snips since the crap toolkit we used when i was in the army college. I use the cutters below. Will cut and strip upto about 35mm easily. i only use snips for cable ties, and then i use the carpenters pincers.

Yeah, there are two different sizes. You only want the big ones for big cable like 35mm upwards.

When they are brand new, they also have a clever device in them for finding live cables....
